And he has chosen to take it on himself to update the mod.

Neronix was very much part of the original team.

There are 2 git-repos with supposedly updates for 1.5 (from not-original authors). Wondering, if anyone tried them:
https://github.com/Rim-Effect-Legacy
https://github.com/Rim-Effect-Renegade

Update please

I wish the storytellers had separate mods like vanilla expanded ones do

@kusheov_ Neronix stated on Patreon (where he's made the Rim-Effect posts free to read) that they will be released when he is ready to.

when you gonna update this and asari mod to 1.5?

read literally 2-4 comments below......

Any plans on a 1.5 update?

does anybody know when the renegade or legacy version might be released

Do note that legacy core requires HAR and vanilla expanded framework.
While renegade core uses biotech xenotypes for the asari and asimov for the robots

No, you have to use 1 or the other.
If you use legacy core, you should use the legacy addons.
If you use the renegade core, you should use the renegade addons.

@hXeonzs thanks. And also should players use both the legacy version and renegade for the rim effect core or not?

The legacy versions on github of core, n7 and asari & reapers all work in 1.5.
The only reason they're not on the workshop yet is because they're still in development / rework.

The renegade version prevents proper world generation currently, so I'd advise sticking with the legacy version.
https://github.com/Rim-Effect-Legacy

Do note that using the popular mod Rim War breaks the asari and reapers mod, asari shuttles will not come to trade and reapers will not raid you (even though they'll still land across the world) because of how rim war materializes traders and warbands on the world map, but neither the asari or reaper have typical settlements to caravans from, thus they never do anything.
If you're going to play with this mod, disable Rim War.

I am having this issue with the mechs and the rogue VI site in the renegade edition where if I do some damage or destroy anything there the system alliance goes from neutral to hostile and the mechs there when I went to one one of the LOKI mechs was from our faction and also wasn't armed with anything so is it just a bug or do I need both legacy and renegade edition?

Does anyone think an updated version of this will be released on steam?

Actually got it to work by using the legacy version of the core, asara+reapers and N7.
Haven't had any asari trader shuttles land yet, but seen them fight as pawns with some raids, no reaper landings yet, but all human stuff and n7 stuff works so far, and obviously world generation.

I tried the github version, but then during world generations no factions are spawned at all :(

Thank you very much Leng!

you're welcome

I take it there won't be an update?, Sad to hear, but thanks anyway for creating this mod. I lost half of my Rimwrod game with him. Thank you.

I just realized this mod isnt updated, what a goddamn shame, I personally think this is better than VE

@papafen - I'm not seeing an update on the github from 13 hours ago. Looks like the last update was 2 months ago. Am I looking in the right place?

Heck - is there a discord I could join just to make sure everything for this coming back is good to go? Report bugs back ect?

Thats good to know that mod is getting new life :-) Looking forward to it.

I would like to post this here for those that don't know, this is from the mod creator Oskar Potocki's Patreon, posted back in March regarding the future development of Rim-Effect.

" Rim-Effect was created when I was riding the Mass Effect Legendary Edition hype wave. As I finished the game, the hype died down and I lost interest in continuing the project. Considering it took as much time to make these mods as Vanilla Factions Expanded mods, and it only reached 5%-10% popularity of the VE mods, I couldn't justify spending so much time and effort on them. The mod will be reuploaded by Neronix and will receive 1.5 update on his end. "

I wish Oskar and his team would have continued working and updating the Rim-Effect series mods, I was looking forward to the Quarians and Turians being released however having Neronix update it is still appreciated. Hopefully one day the mod will be developed again and the stuff they are making now is great.

if you go browse the local files, theres a mod folder, unzip the file there. Or drag and drop it there

@Reel

How can I add it manually to the folder?

Awesome, thank you for the update!

Hey just letting people know, and im gonna put this message on the other mods as well, Neronix is working on the mods you just have to get the mod from the Github. Latest update just came out 13 hours ago.
https://github.com/Rim-Effect-Legacy

true, they would need the mod authors permission.
@Reel, you son of a bitch, i'm in.

Fun fact: You can play a 1.5 version on the mod's github page. Everything might not work, but it's more than enough to satisfy your desire.

@PapaFenn, Think its been mentioned before with no takers sadly :-( Im guessing there is a legal standing thats stopping them from doing it? Who knows but I also would love this updated.

tbh, im willing to fucking pay someone to update this.

Glad I was able to play this when it still worked, was nice while it lasted.

I hope someone makes a successor to this mod series It was really good.

anyone heard anything? cause i got into rimworld too late to enjoy this and i MUST try it

I miss this mod... Last year it got me to replay the actual trilogy...

Any update from Neronix.. he suppose to do a reupload and 1.5 version. No updates since.

I vaguely remember one of them making comment about dropping it. And focusing on other series. But if they bringing it back im all for it!!

im pretty sure i saw in the 1.5 mod update infographic on Oskar's Patreon that its not abandoned just vanilla expanded team isnt going to be the ones handling the updates anymore but one of the devs is taking it up and going to be continuing to update it going forward but iirc it will be getting a new mod page i think

Sad this mod series was abandoned it was lots of fun and top quality

Far as I know mod is done and wont get any updates. I wish it would as I loved mod myself.

a genuine shame this mod isn't being updated by the original team any longer. I always took this mod and its extensions as a "spacers expanded" in most of my runs and the late game now feels much less diverse in its content without it.

Well thanks for years of fun with this mod. I understand the constant updating from one edition to the next takes time and one day enough is enough. Will you let third parties update it to 1.5 with your permission? I have seen a few groups that do that if they get permission or no response from creators after x amount of time.

shame this isnt getting an update I love mass effect so much

I hope we can play the mod on 1.5 sometime, because even if I only want to play the old version with 1.4, the mod doesn't work anymore.

Okay :(

I'm not updating this mod to 1.5.

Please update 1.5 :)
